Take Care of Your Overheating Engine

Posted on March 18, 2018

If your engine is overheating, stop the car. You don't want the heat to cause damage that goes beyond the current malfunction. Stay away from the engine until it is cool. Only then should you try adding coolant. Keep in mind that driving again may result in more overheating. Seek help for your car in Calgary as soon as possible.

Overheating can be caused by a faulty thermostat which regulates how the heat and coolant intersect in the system. A water pump element may have broken, rendering the whole thing inoperable. A damaged coolant hose may have deprived the liquid-cooled system of the substance needed to reduce heat. Regardless of the initial cause, overheating has the potential to damage other components.

If your car has overheated, it needs an immediate check-up. Get help from the skillful service technicians at Eastside Kia.
